No point in testing...

Well, I can say with certainty that this last IUI did not work. It sucks, it really does...and for today, it's kind of hard for me to make that final acceptance with myself that it is probably over, but if I'm being honest, right now is not the time to add a baby to our family. We have our nephew living with us who is the same age as Lil Miss, My Love will be deploying soon, I may have to move to get the kids into a better school district, I am starting work....I think that is more than enough right now...it's just accepting the finality of it all...

Busy time of year

It has been amazingly busy for me and I fear it is only going to get more so. We have our wonderful nephew A living with us right now and he will be celebrating Christmas with us. He and V have been having so much fun together though it is a learning experience for them both. They are both headstrong and tattle-tellers so we have had a lot of correcting, but it will all work out. They are both 4.5 years old, so what can I expect...really? LOL

I feel very guilty because I was nominated for a blog award and have yet to get around to doing my portion...but I will...I PROMISE!! I just have to get ahead on some school work. I have 1.5 weeks left of this class and then I will have a MUCH needed break for a few short weeks over the holidays.

I have so many other things I have slipped on. I need to make more phone calls for work, I need to register & get the new car inspected (just a gas-saver older Honda Accord that we got really cheap), I have to clean my house (it's getting cluttery), I have to get my truck fixed, I have to relax...

I was able to spend some time with my great friend R tonight getting facials. It was a gift from her and we have both been so busy that we weren't able to take advantage of it earlier, so we finally made it...my face feels fantastically smooth and soft. It was my first facial, but I am pretty sure I'll have another one again soon. It was nice.

V has her little Christmas concert tomorrow night for her preschool and I'm excited for her. It will be so cute. I hope My Love can make it and doesn't get stuck at work...they are getting ready for their upcoming deployment (ugh).

Anyhow, other than that, all is well...just busy.

Fertility wise - I'm about 6 days past IUI and I have no clue what is going on down there...lots of cramping, I can say that. I don't plan on testing anytime soon, so please don't ask. I will post when I do though.

Well, I'm off...super-mom still has homework to do...

wham, bam, thank you Dr.

Well, I am now done with my 6th IUI and praying that since this one actually has some differences from the other 5 (more eggs!) that it might work. We had good counts, good eggs, and a good Dr....can't really complain. The whole procedure only takes about 45 seconds and then it's over and I laid there for my 15 minutes playing games on my new phone, then threw my clothes back on and went out to lunch with my husband...

An educational video for you. :o

Now, off for my next adventure of the day...which will NOT be a wham, bam mission...it will be torturous and evil...I have a cavity on the back of my wisdom tooth that I am going to go get filled....ouch, ouch, ouch!
Wish mine was this easy...

2 to 4...nothing less, nothing more...

I went in for my Ultrasound yesterday morning. Dr P came in and asked if I wanted to make a guess on how many were in there...I said, that I wasn't sure, but I know something is going on down there cause I am bloated and feeling "full"...then, I said "I want 2 to 4, nothing less, and nothing more"...

Well, he checked the right ovary first and besides my little pearl necklace of small follicles in there, there were 2 nice large follicles in the right ovary. Then we checked the left and had 2 more!

So, I got 2-4, nothing less, nothing more. Estradiol levels confirmed it too! OMG!

This is the FIRST time in 23 months of fertility drugs that I have had more than 1 egg from the meds!!! I am to trigger Wednesday night and we are scheduled to do an IUI on Thursday morning!
